Planning to draw Wyoming Mule deer and General Elk. My goal is to be in excellent shape so I can make the most of both hunts. My youngest is 11 so this is the last year I plan to hunt Wyoming without him for the foreseeable future. I'm excited to teach him western hunting but I also realize...

I'm not sure of the answer but I would be pretty surprised if it wasn't one of the southern border areas of Fremont County. Your missing a couple. 60 and 92. Good chance the bucks came from 60, 61, 64, or 92. I have seen the occasional buck come from an odd area though so who knows. I...

That's incorrect- Here it is from the web site. "For moose and full price bighorn sheep, preference points can be accumulated either by submitting an application for the limited quota drawings or by purchasing a preference point during the preference point application period using the online...

As a typical that deer is a 170 class so with another 15" of non-typical, he is at minimum a 180 class buck. He has good height and great fronts. My guess is that deer, in velvet, would tape very close to 190".

You can hunt guided on a general permit, and yes, that would grant you access to wilderness areas. Being in wilderness doesn't necessarily mean you will magically get on much better quality though. General areas, typically, see more hunting pressure making a trophy bull harder to come by...

I would enter but my little guy just turned 11 in December... Montana minimum is 12. Appreciate what you're doing. I'll tell a few friends.

Colorado pays Hunt Planners to help- give them a call. 303-291-7526. I have only done it once but the person I spoke to was very knowledgeable and helpful.

Growing up in Wyoming I used to shoot quite a few mallards during deer season off the mountain beaver ponds. October usually beings quite a few ducks to the state. Good luck.

Purely discussing table fare - The best elk I have ever eaten was a 300 class bull taken at the end of the rut. The worst elk I have ever eaten was my wife's cow she shot mid October. It was the lead cow in a herd of 60+ animals. She was like chewing on shoe leather but her burger was still...

I would call the deer a giant 150 class buck. This deer would score the same at 10" less in width if he had little 5" crab claw forks up front. My guess is that would drastically change everyone's perception of him. Very cool buck though that would be very difficult to pass. Score isn't...

Wasn't a drop off... 1269 nonresidents taking one point into the moose draw for 2020 compared to 906 with 2 points. I don't have the numbers from last year but it would seem plenty of people decided the higher fees weren't an issue. I'm in no man's land in the middle of the pool... trying to...

I keep it pretty simple with our bunnies most of the time- I roll skinned, clean, rabbit pieces in a mixture of crushed corn flakes and seasonings and then fry most of the time. We also make BBQ rabbit, rabbit and noodles, and baked rabbit occasionally. My 2 favorite seasoning blends for...

I have used several different brands. The biggest factor to me is making sure the height of the bipod is correct for you while in a prone position. I'm 6'2" and have owned a couple that just felt too tall for prone. I like a 12-24" model vs the 13.5-27. I have been just as accurate with...

Fist gut reaction is "180 class" buck. After studying the pictures, I would agree with ridgetop above and say final score likely around 170".

To me when "class" is associated with the number it means a person is giving a ballpark estimation for what they think the deer will score. Like mentioned above, it needs to be taken with a grain of salt. I have had them go both ways but know that ground shrinkage is much more common than...

No F shot? lol. I had a buddy that swore by that when we were kids until we opened one up out of curiosity to count pellets. In a 12 gauge I think he had about 30 compared to my 75 or so BB. He did occasionally drop a goose at a long distance though.

You may be right about some but I'm guessing the change to most area will be very minimal. The biggest potential change will be to the general tag odds imo. And I bet that doesn't change much because Wyoming is The destination for a lot of hunters. I just don't know that many people, other...

Drawing elk and moose in the same year would be a lot... I'm guessing most people with have to choose one or the other.

It's annoying but I do think it will keep a few more people out of the draw as they don't want to take a chance at drawing multiple states in the same year. There are ways around that but it will be a little work... draw premium unit in another state, switch wyo app to area 100.
